1Every object in C++ has access to its own address through an important pointer called this pointer.
2 The this pointer is an implicit parameter to all member functions. 
3Therefore, inside a member function,
4 this may be used to refer to the invoking object.
5
6Friend functions do not have a this pointer,
7 because friends are not members of a class. 
8Only member functions have a this pointer.
